Dhoni Terrified Darrell Harper

Umpire Darrell Harper has accused ICC for double standards and unjust support for Indian players. He said "When I need to consider which team is playing and apply the laws differently for different teams, then this game has lost sight of its standards and its values,"

He said, I am wonder how ICC ignored Dhoni’s violation of Code of Conduct, when he criticize umpiring decisions publically.  He added, "I waited for a response or some action from management... and I waited. No response came... no support, no action. This wasn't the first time that I felt that I had been left out on a limb” He further added "People don't always think before they speak. Some spontaneous comments can be harmful to the game and its best interests. I had previously imagined that was the reason for a clause in the ICC Code of Conduct about 'inappropriate public comment'. "  He said in Jamica Test Match the behavour of some Indian players was insulting against me. He said that when I ordered Parveen Kumar out of attack for stepping on Pitch, Dhoni came near to me and threaten, 'We have had issues with you before, Daryl'.

He said after all these issues I was expecting that Match Referee will take action against Indian players but due to unknown reason even Match referee not call any Indian player. It is because that ICC is interesting in Indian money which is involved in cricket despite looking for the betterment of cricket. He added, when I say that ICC is silent, I realized that some one have to speak against this bed behavior of ICC and Indian players, therefore, I decide to opt for early retirement as being affiliated with ICC I was not in position to express my views in front of media.

This is not the first time when some one criticized ICC for accepting unnecessary influence from India. Tony Greg and Rana Tonga has already done so in past. Before Harper Indian Board has made Steve Buckner to retire from umpiring in Australia. So many times every country has faced bed decisions from umpires, but not a single board has made it the problem of his ego. But the matter of BCCI and Indian media is different. After every occasional bed decision they made it a problem of life and death and tried to humiliate the umpires. Unfortunately ICC never tried to prevent India from doing so. In recent past India opposed UDRS for no solid reason while all other cricket playing countries were in favour of this system. In another case India attempted to hold the Presidentship of ICC in her hand for ever by demanding amendments in rotation policy. Shamefully boards like England and Australia accompanied India in doing so. Thanks to South Africa due her vote India failed to get this worst objective against cricket at the spot.

The question is why ICC is not preventing India from doing so. The answer is obvious. President of ICC is Indian and CEO of ICC is Indian born. Unfortunately after holding the seats of ICC these two are still working as Indian. But the demands of holding ICC seats is “working for cricket” not supporting “country dominating objectives”.  Looking at the performance of these Indian as part of ICC management, most of cricket fans are demanding that the Name of ICC should be changed to “Indian Cricket Council”.

To me its look like the knife has been given in the hands of monkey. Now wait and see what monkeys will do with cricket.
